If you want to do journalism beyond the narrow national borders, you need a basic understanding of how the EU works. Sigrid Melchior is a longtime Brussels correspondent for Swedish media and based in Brussels. She has published a succesful handbook on covering the EU in Swedish, an English version is forthcoming. In this session she will provide a beginners' guide to the EU institutions from a journalistic point of view: Understand the power structures to cover decision making and administration. NOTE: This workshop will be followed by a workshop on covering EU- and EU-regulated spending.
